The edge came down to doubles where DeKalb won two matches to one with the teams of Davis and Ethan Cantrell, along with Medlin and Eli Cantrell, winning their tilts while Christian Trail and Ben Snipes were defeated.

In girls action at the Warren County courts, Daisy Hernandez was the only singles winner while the team of Shelby Clayborn and Hannah McBride took the only doubles win.
